There is a prayer that the Missionaries of Charity pray every day. Cardinal Newman wrote it:
Jesus, help me to spread your fragance wherever I am.
Fill my heart with your Spirit and your life.
Penetrate my being and take such hold of me that my life
becomes a radiation of your own life.
Give your light through me and remain in me in such a way
that every soul I come in contact with can feel your presence in me.
Fill my heart with your Spirit and your life.
Penetrate my being and take such hold of me that my life
becomes a radiation of your own life.
Give your light through me and remain in me in such a way
that every soul I come in contact with can feel your presence in me.
May people not see me, but see you in me. . .
May I preach you with actions more than with words, with the example of my actions, with the visible light of the love that comes from you to my heart. Amen
